Thinking of making a Donation? Here are some ideas... Donate! Donations of any amount are always appreciated. You can specify what the donation should be used toward, donate in honor of someone, or a Memorial Gift. A Memorial Gift is a beautiful testimony to the life of a beloved person or pet who has passed on—and the gift of life for animals in need. It can be just the right touch for expressing compassion to someone who has had a loss. Click here for a Donation Form. Gift Memberships are a great gift idea for holidays, birthdays or just because. An HSMC gift membership is a great way to give a gift that improves the lives of the animals in our community.

Featured Shelter Animals:

Although the HSMC works diligently to promote adoption of the animals available at the
McDonough County Animal Shelter,
the facility itself operates on County funds and is staffed by employees through County dollars.
The HSMC does not have independent access to the shelter nor the authority to arrange adoptions.

Reporting Abuse or Neglect

What to do when you know an animal is being
abused or neglected:

Notify the Animal Control Officer at the
McDonough County Animal Shelter
as soon as possible;
837-2989, or email mcas@macomb.com
or the McDonough County Sheriff's office, 833-2323.

You may need to check back with the shelter to find out the status of the situation. Also, read our Tips for Reporting Abuse in McDonough County and the
ASPCA's Tips for Determining and Reporting Abuse.

If the situation persists, please contact our Humane Society President.

Please, Spay and Neuter your Pets!
According to Alley Cat Allies, more than 70% of all cats brought into our nation's animal pounds and shelters are killed.

The Humane Society of McDonough County pays $35 toward the cost of a regular spay or neuter for animals adopted from the
McDonough County Animal Shelter.
The HSMC has also implemented low income (150% of poverty) spay/neuter assistance program. If you think you might qualify, please send income information to the
Humane Society of McDonough County
PO Box 7
Macomb, IL 61455
